As I wrote on Mastodon in what turned out to be an interminable chronicle of the making of offbeat :
I’ve never released an album. I write and publish individual songs that progressively outline and become part of albums, sometimes jumping around from one album to the next.
But collaborating on projects on the fedi has taught me something I usually lack : patience. Weeks or months often go by between the moment I finish a song and its release.
Which has probably put me in the necessary headspace to think of a whole album before I’ve actually finished any of the songs.

Another banner year, spread across multiple projects, ranging from #bonkwave to #RFFF25 to #NHAM to #TIBtv, to a little solo stuff. I don’t know how long any of this will last, but I’m relishing it while I can.

Hi It’s Spring by Kid Sam and sknob was written by 8 year-old Sam (@ethicalrevolution@climatejustice.social), sung by grown-up Sam, and arranged (or produced or whatever the kids call it these days) by me for the latest #bonkwave compilation, The Four Seasons of Bonk Wave: The Bonks of Spring 1.
The Rite of Bonk, is my programmatic music contribution to the latest #bonkwave compilation, The Four Seasons of Bonk Wave: The Bonks of Spring 1.

You may remember that I contributed two songs to the last #BonkWave triple album: C’est quoi (le bonkwave) ? and La sieste/Don’t Mind Me.

I’ve been writing music and songs for several decades now, and every single time I finish a piece, I wonder if it was the last, if the well has run dry.
Well it sure didn’t happen this year. I can’t believe I put out so much stuff! Let’s see...

On the 21st or 22nd July 2023 (depending where you are in the world!) the concept of #BonkWave was born.
I am proud to have been part of the biggest Allstars line up yet, that came together to celebrate the first anniversary of this momentous day!
And I also contributed my very own Rugged scrublands version!
